MAKARI Magazine - Issue #4

MEET ROBBY Our team had the chance to speak with celebrity hair stylist Robby Lariviere about his passion for all things hair and how he found himself traveling the world sharing all his beauty secrets! Follow Robby on Instagram at @robbylariviere to peek into his hair ventures and shenanigans! My skincare routine is something that I like to change up regularly – I feel like skin can start to plateau if the same products are used over and over again. So I do like to change things up, but one thing that stays consistent in my routine is face oil. I love the hydration, I love the dewiness it gives my skin, and how it almost makes my skin feel juicier WHAT’S YOUR SKINCARE ROUTINE?

HOW DID YOU GET INTO HAIR & GROOMING?

I’ve always loved hair ever since I was a little boy. My first job was working as a receptionist at a hair salon in my hometown and I just loved the environment. I loved seeing how happy the ladies were once they were leaving with their hair all done up. They would come in sad but left with the happiest and widest of smiles on their faces and the most beautiful hair. I knew then that it was definitely the right business for me. Watching the beauty work from the outside in has been such a wonder.

You know I think it goes back to my love of beauty and my love of wanting both men and women to feel as good as these products are going to make them look! I just want people to be happy and look beautiful. WHERE DID YOUR PASSION FOR HOSTING COME FROM? ABSOLUTELY. Most men don't know that skincare is everything! Makari has great products for men as well! IS IT IMPORTANT FOR MEN TO HAVE A SKINCARE ROUTINE? Honestly, it would be anything that evens out my skin tone. I’ve been loving tanning drops – I put a few drops in my oil or moisturizer for my face and it gives my skin a happy, healthy glow. On top of that, anything that makes my skin glow is definitely a beauty must have for me! WHAT’S A BEAUTY MUST-HAVE?

HOW DID THAT LEAD TO HOSTING ON HSN & QVC?

Well, it all happened very organically. I began representing products from overseas here in the states and that was done through an amazing beauty guru and publicist, Mandi Lebbos, who was able to bring Australian brands to the United States and utilize me as the spokesperson. And I was really able to use my gift of gab with my clients behind the chair and have that translate very seamlessly to being in front of the camera. I was then hired by a major haircare company to be their international spokesperson and I’ve been doing that for the past 6 years.

WHERE HAVE YOU TRAVELED? WHERE’S YOUR FAVORITE?

ANY BEAUTY VENTURES COMING?

I’ve been all over! I’ve been to Russia, Germany, Australia, Canada and soon to be Japan! Typically I would be traveling to all these places but with it being COVID, I’ve been able to reach people near and far from the comfort of my living room with the help of a ring light. I do miss travel though, especially to Australia – Australia’s my favorite.

Anything is possible!

ANY DREAM CLIENTS?

Adele – I would go easy on her!
